Best Black Friday AirPod deals 2022: Top offers on Airpods Pro and Airpods Max

Each year, it’s the AirPod deals that send the internet into a frenzy during the Black Friday sales extravaganza.

When Apple released its wireless headphones back in 2016, it changed our audio experience forever, pushing the boundaries on what we expect from our earbuds. So sought-after are these mini in-ear speakers that they bring in around $12 billion a year for the tech giants and are spotted everywhere from offices, to commutes, to gyms.

The instantly recognisable white wireless devices combine style and substance, connecting seamlessly with your iPhone (or Android), and giving you the chance to listen to your carefully curated playlist as well as take calls, talk to Siri and for the Pros, enjoy almost complete sound cancellation - all while looking slick and sophisticated.

So how do you get your hands on the costly headphones for less? Well, Black Friday is the time.

When is Black Friday 2022? When is Cyber Monday 2022?

For 2022, Black Friday will be taking place on November 25, closely followed by Cyber Monday on November 28. If you can’t wait, fear not: the deals have already begun.
